What is attractive here is the narrowness of the rock walls in places with great rock formations. The vegetation means you can often walk in the shade. At 7 km, …

The Imbros Gorge is a highlight on Crete. Magnificent rock formations can be admired. The narrow spots in the canyon are fantastic. The hike through the gorge is also suitable for children. I can only recommend it 🇬🇷👍🌞👌😎

Need to pay 2 euros for a ticket to walk the path. They have a donkey taxi stop for the people that are not able to finish it... Less busy/turistic than other gorges

June 20, 2025,Tag 5 Kreta Wanderung durch die Imbros Schlucht

A beautiful tour through the impressive Imbros Gorge! The weather was very warm, so be sure to bring plenty of water and don't forget sunscreen. The trail is well-maintained, with many shady sections, but the sun can be strong in places.
At the end of the gorge, we took a taxi back to the starting point – very convenient and …

Imposing rock formations in the Imbros Gorge. Very rocky ground. This is a round trip. Alternatively, you can walk further and get a ride back to the beginning. Free parking at the start of the route. Alternatively, there are parking spaces in the town of Imbros.

May 17, 2025,Durch die Imbros-Schlucht auf Kreta

A beautiful hike through the Imbros Gorge. The crowds and heat aren't too bad yet. The entrance fee is now €5 per person. We walked from the top to the Stone Arch and back again. It took well over two hours, and we couldn't even reach an average speed of 4.9 km/h on the rocky terrain. The tour is highly …

Today we leave Paleochora and continue to Plakias. On the way there we hike through the Imbros Gorge. This is our fifth gorge here in Crete and it is very different from all the others. Very green, lots of trees and a sea of flowers because there are no goats here. They're not allowed in here. At the end of …

Too warm and too lazy for the Samaria Gorge. So the little sister, the Imbros Gorge. Another advantage: only 20 minutes drive from here. So today a little earlier out of bed. In Imbros there is a Reinsignaler at every parking space. The deal is: You park here for free if you at least come in for a drink on …

October 19, 2022,Durch die Imbrosschlucht vom Meer hinauf

We started our tour down by the sea. The bay can be crossed for a fee. The path through the gorge is about 7 kilometers long at about 700 m altitude difference. The highlight is the narrowest part of the bay at 1.60 m. The gorge is very varied, sometimes steep rock faces, sometimes rising side walls covered with Macia. …

Imbros Gorge
Somehow you wobble around the entire 5 km on scree. The gaze is constantly glued to the ground. The gorge is cool and shady and probably manageable even in summer. At the start and end point there are minibuses that take hikers to their parking lot, 5€ per person. The plan was actually to go back, but because …
